"Timing Your Meals Right: The Secret to a Healthier Heart and Lower Blood Pressure"

A study suggests that eating breakfast and dinner earlier can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, with breakfast at 8am linked to a lower risk compared to 9am, and eating before 8pm associated with a reduced risk of cerebrovascular disease, especially in women. Longer periods of nighttime fasting also correlate with a decreased risk of stroke. The research, which used data from over 103,000 French individuals, highlights the potential role of meal timing in cardiovascular disease prevention and supports the emerging field of chrononutrition. The findings were published in Nature Communications.
